I don't think it's anything to do with your () placement, I just tested and the follow 3 queries all bring back the same results: SELECT * FROM table WHERE (field LIKE '%var%') OR (field2 LIKE '%var%') AND field3 = 'condition' SELECT * FROM table WHERE (field LIKE '%var%' OR field2 LIKE '%var%') AND field3 = 'condition' SELECT * FROM table WHERE field LIKE '%var%' OR field2 LIKE '%var%' AND field3 = 'condition' -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
